    It is real. The first working non-GameShark Mew cheat. I tried it on my Yellow version, and it worked.

    Yep there right its the only way to get mew without the game shark, it will appear at lvl. 7 and is fairly easy to catch. Although if your really far in the game its really not worth restarting for.


    Hope that helps

  • I once had a mew. It knew cut, surf and fly.... ?.?;;; and the other was somthing crap like... i dunno. Scratch.

    I got it by cloning it off my cousin. (if you dont know about cloning ask... ill tell you how.) It was weird... somtimes it looekd like that mew, and other times it looked like the other sprite. Odd... Dunno where it originally came from. I've gotta try this on my red version! (which i use for crap like this...)

  • because some people might be a little curious about why this glitch occurs, im here to cure your curiousity. the game uses a random number generator, in which you use it to get into certain battles. there couuld very well be a glitch like this for eveery pokemon. apparently, in an earlier version of the game (obviously pre-release), they used the rng as a "backup" to get any pokemon, and never erased it from the games database (because if they do that pokemon wont exist). i would say that there is something like this for every single pokemon. snorlax's and pidgey's are identical to missingno's. for more "in-depth" info pm me.

    The site pretty much explains all of that already. I'm still not sure how anyone would be able to figure something like this out.

    So hang on. Mew must have been put into the game and surly there is a non-slitch way of catching it then? Or there was going to be, originally? Ok i'm confused...

    And what is missingno??? Surly that was created too...!? it cant have made itself!?

  • i will answer your question, hajime. no, there is no non-glitch way of catchin mew. but, because there is a mew file in the game (since you can get him other ways) he still has a backup file (the rng). all pokemon have this. with missigno, even i am confused. i dont fully understand, but i will say what i do. missingno is in a way, responsible for itself. the missingno file is "lost" beta files (files from pre-released versions of the game). i believe that as versions progressed, files fused, and became missingo. when the producers encountered this glitch (most likely near the release date), they had to get rid of it fast. to make sure that you could not randomly encounter missingno, they set up the files backup file (rng) to be its primary file. im still not sure though...
